Denver Postal Workers Tired of Violence in Workplace
About 50 letter carriers
walked the picket line Thursday to get their message out." We
demand a safe and harmonious workplace, that's our right," said
Mike Williams, president of the local Branch 47 of the National
Association of Letter Carriers. “Management is constantly
harassing, intimidating, finger pointing, and bullying letter
carriers on the workroom floor on a daily basis.”

NALC: Young Urges Congress to Reject Study
for 5-Day Delivery
President Young is urging Congress to reject a
proposal by Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) to order USPS to conduct a
cost-benefit analysis of adopting a five-day delivery week. In a
letter sent to top congressional leaders, Young notes that a
similar yet more comprehensive study of universal service is
already underway, as mandated by the 2006 postal reform law.
“Saddling the Postal Service with the responsibility for
conducting or participating in a duplicative study of Saturday
delivery is unnecessary and wasteful,” Young said.
